Great Film

Ok first let me start by saying i love this movie from the time period to the score the picturesque settings and Ashley Judd is absolutely gorgeous. but im a bit confounded by several things; how was mrs potts responsible for her mothers untimely death and why did clay sleep with her even after it seemed like he decided it was worth the risk of her informing law enforcement of his whereabouts. on a glummy note it was so sad when fly boy commited suicide but i also appreciate the writer for not making it a cliche happy ending.
